Artful August: the Pacific Asia Museum
Discussions of Japan’s last great master of traditional ukiyo-e (woodblock printing), a look at spring and summer kimono, and a party! They’re all on the calendar as Pasadena’s Pacific Asia Museum “wraps up” summer in style.
Pacific Asia Museum Curator of Education Amelia Chapman and Director of Marketing Chelsea Mason recently talked about the museum’s special events. They’re having an “Art and Coffee” discussion of the works of Tsukioka Yoshitoshi on Friday, August 10th. There’s also a grand finale to their “Fusion Fridays” summer nights series on Friday, August 17th–and much more, as they look ahead to fall!

Celebrating August: the Orange County Fair
August has arrived–and so have the camels and Clydesdales at the Orange County Fair!
On August 1, the Fair welcomed the Budweiser Clydesdales–AND Gil and Nancy Riegler and their lovable camels from the Oasis Camel Dairy! They’ll all be at the Fair from now through its closing date, next Sunday, August 12th, 2012. So now’s your chance to see camel-milking demonstrations, several times a day–and ask any questions you may have of Gil or Nancy, who opened the nation’s first camel-milking farm fifteen years ago!
And the fun continues at the Fair with daily concerts, free shows and exhibits (the woodcarvers and amateur jewelrymakers have created some amazing work!). Orange County Fair Communications Director Robin Wachner offered a closer look at all the goings-on.

The Warmth of the Irish
Irish folk band Paddy’s Pig is set to deliver a dose of Dublin at the Los Angeles Zoo! They’ll be on one of the Zoo’s stages, playing at the zoo as part of a “Global Fusion” program, Friday evening, July 27th from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m.! And throughout the zoo, there will be other world bands playing–think African, Caribbean, French, Russian and more–for the Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association’s second “Music in the LA Zoo 2012” event!
Paddy’s Pig co-founder and lead singer Missy Gibson formed the band with colleague Mike Flanagan in 1999. The group performs traditional Irish and Celtic music, as well as original compositions with humor, credibility, and a flair for storytelling that draws in their audiences. And their often-rollicking beat tends to get people dancing!
